You know... young Ray Rougeau does look a lot like Joey Ryan...
-
Regal in his prime would stretch him.

I swear I saw this recently...
That brings a whole new definition to bsing a Bushwacker.
That also has to be a rib on Ray Rougeau.

So on my run this morning I had a hard time keeping my wind...
Because I was thinking of the name Oney Lorcan and kept giggling at calling him Onesie.

I'm a little curious how a lot of these indy guys are going to handle the different ring size. From what I've heard through the old WCW guys after the Takeover was thst the hardest part was getting their timing down with the WWF ring.

Well a closed fist punch is also technically illegal but you never see the ref trying to stop that anymore either.
-
There's also the kata hajime.... which is a blatant choke and I'm not sure how logistically thst was ever considered legal.

Completely forgot: Rings of Saturn
The Rings of Saturn was so much better than the Crippled Crossface. You tie up both arms so no real chance of them going for the ropes.

I never got into the spear -> jackhammer as that requires you to pick up your opponent again. That just kinda goes against the purpose of the spear. In theory that allows the opponent a few seconds to get their wind back.

I rewatcheddar thst match for some reason yesterday and they cut to a different camera at the start of thst spot so it doesn't look anywhere near as bad.

You mean like Marty Janetty?

The Mountain That Rides vs The Desert That Moves

One day the WWE will see that it's OK for your main eventers to drop one once in awhile. Alexa could absolutely use a win against Bayley... and it won't hurt Bayley at all.

Who is that in the choke pick?
Rusev used it a couple of times though not as finisher. Not sure why he stopped.
I thought that looked familiar.
-
Who in their right mind would take that?

I have never seen this before, That elbow is so ultra brilliant.

That has to be the Japanese Earl Hepner.

I couldn't believe that Dory used that as a real finisher. For me, the spinning toe hold was always the start of the figure four. That'd just how ito done! Anybody that executes the figure four without the spinning toe hold is a hack!
But on that note - Race's finish was a standard suplex.

Luger's Torture Rack was a good one because of the way he applied it.
The Crossface Chickenwing always looked painful.
I think the Choke Slam can be both the best and worst finisher. It depends almost entirely on the guy taking the move. I remember the way X-Pac used to take one made it look like the most devastating move ever.
The crossface chicken wing is indeed painful. Just hard to pull off unless your brother is considerably smaller than you.

I don't know this world where the brand names 'Raw' and 'SmackDown' have any relevance outside of the pro wrestling bubble. Non-fans might know there's wrestling on Monday nights but they don't know 'Raw' as anything. I mean, I don't talk about this stuff with normal people but I think 'Raw' sounds salacious and 'SmackDown' sounds like an amateur tough guy contest or a monster truck rally.
Just having different colors while both shows feature WWE-branded championships and WWE logos everywhere including the bug on the screen is just the same show on different nights. Look how people seem to think NXT is separate from the larger WWE "Universe" even though it's all under the same umbrella. Even if NXT was exactly the same, I don't think it would get the same recognition if it were referenced as the 'Next Brand'. They don't have to use WCW but they need some kind of alphabet soup to differentiate the two brands. I'm just saying WCW cause other than the WWE library, the WCW footage would have to be their largest video library already being exploited on the WWE Network. The event names are available and the championships would have provenance. Also, 2K didn't bring in Goldberg this year or Sting a couple of years ago because they were big WWE Superstars.
Raw, SmackDown, NXT or WWE, WCW, NXT. It's all going to end the same way again in a few years when they get bored with it anyway.
We appear to be a collective of old fogies with graying body hair. Brands do come and go, and it was just 21 years ago that Superstars was the WWE's main show... and NWA had Wored Championship Wrestling which late gave way to WCW Saturday Night.
Brands come and go.. just like marriages... or unions. Sometimes they just run their course. Smackdown as a brand hasn't been relevant in probably close to 10 years.

It's a shame that the WWE never had AJ and Joey Styles on screen together.
The best/worst finishers past and present?
